CONGRATULATIONS Todd Bowels
Tampa Bay Buccaneers New Head Coach
Todd Bowles to take over as head coach of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Bruce Arians stepping into front-office role
Bruce Arians stepped down after three seasons as the Buccaneers' head coach and has relocated into a front-office role with the organization.
Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has replace Arians as head coachwith a five-year head-coaching contract.
Arians will play a key role in evaluating draft prospects, and his move into the front office ensures the 2022 NFL Draft picks will be on point. His new job title will be senior football consultant.
Bowles, 58, will get a second chance to prove himself in the role after four seasons with the New York Jets from 2015-2018 in which he went 24-40. He now takes over a far more talented roster with Super Bowl experience to boot.
"I am appreciative of the Glazer family and Jason Licht for having faith in me to take on this role, and to Coach Arians for his support and guidance over the past four decades," Bowles said in a statement. "Tampa has become home for my family, and we are excited to remain part of this community for years to come. As an organization, we have all the pieces in place to continue the winning standard that has been established here in recent years. I am eager to get started with our players, coaching staff, and front office in preparation for the 2022 season."
With Arians stepping down, 10 NFL teams -- nearly a third of the league -- will have a new head coach for the 2022 season. That represents the most coaching changes from one season to the next since 2008 and 2009, when there were 11 changes at the position.
LOAD THE CANNON'S
Buccaneers Promote Maral Javadifar
Congradulations to the BUCS new Director of Rehabilitation & Performance Coach.

"I look forward to drawing upon my experiences from the past three seasons as we work to provide our players with the most efficient and effective methods for maximizing their potential and improving their on-field performance."”
The sky is the limit. All parties would be satisfied with more talent coming into Tampan, and the 2022 NFL Draft offers several opportunities for our Buccaneers to build a solid offensive in our course for another Super Bowl title.
Javadifar will play a key role in the organization's athlete-centered training model which features an integrated approach to training, medical and rehabilitative care, as well as preventative maintenance.
